Ray tracing for everyone

Ray tracing has been the talk of the gaming community for a couple of years now. The idea of ray-tracing in real-time in games first came into fruition last year with the launch of Nvidia’s RTX graphic cards.

Currently, ray tracing is limited to Nvidia’s RTX graphics cards, with the cheapest RTX 2060 going for PHP 20,000 plus in the market (yikes!). But both Sony and Microsoft have promised ray tracing to be fully included in the upcoming PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.

Both consoles will come with a customized AMD Zen 2 CPU with 8 cores and 16 threads capable of up to 3.8GHz (Xbox Series X) and 3.5GHz (PS5). The GPU of the two consoles is also an AMD based processor using a custom RDNA 2 architecture. The PlayStation 5 has 10.28 Teraflops for its GPU while the Xbox Series X has 12 Teraflops. If you’re wondering how powerful these devices are, the Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti has 14.2 teraflops and the RTX 2080 Super has 11.1 Teraflops. Hold your horses, GPU power is not solely based on Teraflops and power. Suffice it to say that both the Xbox Series X and PS5 are some killer machines.

4K is now standard with 8K support

Both the Xbox Series X and the PlayStation 5 will support 4K as standard when they’re released later this year. It was only three years ago when 4K reached gaming consoles with the arrival of the PS4 Pro and the Xbox One X.
